Frozen,I do not see JLC koing Hatton,I just don't see it.How?
well when you think about it, he loses to hatton at 140...........hatton beats every1 at 140 whats castillos job? picking up hattons 2nds? really do think that he wont have much else in the tank if he gets another L on his record. him being 32 makes him one of the oldest in the devison?
True,which is why I said he could move to 147,although as you point out,retirement may very well be more likely.

im going by how jlc looked in the castillo/corrales 2 fight, and how hatton looked against collazo (even though it was at 147, hatton looked pretty bad skillwise.........let alone physically)
this is a very bad matchup for hatton, stylistically, and jlc is a bad man.

rickys a good guy and a great fighter, but this is one fight that i feel is going to make him look pretty bad

hopefully im wrong, though. because a victory over jlc would put hatton into elite status
You have to remember,Hatton only had 7 weeks to prepare for that fight. He will be much better prepared for JLC. Dam right Castillo is a bad bad man BUT Hatton is younger,stronger,maybe faster,has a good good chin and throw in rough house tactics and I think he wins. Hatton does not hit as hard as Corrales but his pressure levels are VERY VERY high,he can just overwhelm you,I'm not saying that will happen to Castillo but I feel Hatton has too much energy for him. In fac,I feel pretty confident in saying Ricky would win.
